2020 | Nitrosamines |
Covid-19
- Successful installation of new fully automatic packaging line.
- High demand for Vistin's volume, sold out in 2019, 2020 and 2021
- In April our board approved an investment to double our manufacturing capacity
- First step of our expansion project successfully implemented with a new duplicated reactor in week 41
- Finalization of our expansion project in Q2 2022 will double our capacity to ~7000 MT
- Based on risk assessment and current available data (approx. 230 batches tested in-house, and more than 700 batches tested by customers):
- No detectable content of NDMA present in our Metformin HCl
- No routine testing is required for controlling levels of Nitrosamines in Vistin Pharma API
- Vistin's Metformin HCl has low levels of residual DMA (impurity F) which is relevant factor for limiting NDMA formation in formulated drug products.
- No interruption in production due to raw material supply
- No employee affected
- Vistin is experiencing increased demand for European based supply of quality Metformin HCl
